Scholarship Fund

The majority of internships in several industries are unpaid or low-paid.  These industries include entertainment, media/journalism, politics/government, literary/publishing, music, architecture, design and more. This creates a barrier of entry for students with limited financial means and connections which is why you tend to see a lack of representation in these industries. The effect of this lack of representation is great. For instance, when Congress excludes students based on their socioeconomic status, it fails to create policies shaped by people from various backgrounds. A political system is only effective when it truly becomes the representative body it was created to be. 

Our scholarship fund will provide financial support to help cover transportation, housing, meals, first professional wardrobe and various needs. We will partner with industry specific nonprofits to help provide other career-building services like industry mentorship and industry-specific career building courses.
